Livestock Dry-Matter Intake and As-Fed Ration
Dry-matter intake (body weight x intake %) restated as as-fed bunk weight at the feed dry-matter content, and a herd total. Wet feeds weigh far more as-fed for the same nutrition. A nutritionist governs the ration.
Formula and source
DMI = BW x intake/100; as_fed = DMI / (feed_DM/100); herd_as_fed = as_fed x head.
